Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | KKR 133-4 | Knight Riders win- Match Summary

 

Shreyas Iyer started his second innings as captain in the Indian Premier League as his team Kolkata Knight Riders started off in a great manner by winning the repeat of the final clash between themselves and Chennai Super Kings at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

 

Ajinkya Rahane and Umesh Yadav shone for KKR although the night belonged to MS Dhoni with his vintage innings where he scored a 38 ball fifty, his first ever in three years. But that was not enough at all. 

 

Chasing the total of 132 could have been tricky, but Ajinkya Rahane with his 44 and then 36 run stand between Sam Billings and Shreyas Iyer meant that even the three wickets by Dwayne Bravo could only stretch the match to 18.3 overs. 

 

Earlier in the evening, asked to bat first, Chennai Super Kings got 131-5 thanks to MS Dhoni's vintage innings. At one stage, they were struggling at 84-5 at the end of the 17th over. But it was only after that over that Mahi teed off. For KKR, Umesh Yadav bowled brilliantly and so did Sunil Narine and Chakravarthy. While Umesh took two wickets, Chakravarthy picked one, Sunil gave away only 15 runs in his four overs.

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | KKR 133-4 | Over 18.3- Iyer hits the winning runs

 

And that would be it here as Shreyas Iyer has gone towards the off side and turned this ball on middle and leg towards the deep square leg boundary for four and with this KKr win the game by six wickets and register a comfortable victory over the Chennai Super Kings who beat them in the last season's final.

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | KKR 126-4 | Over 18- Bravo equals Malinga

 

And Bravo has struck once again, the third time this evening and has now equalled Lasith Malinga as the highest wicket-taker in IPL history. It was short and slow and Billings pulled this, but straight to Tushar Deshpande who took a great catch to get the wicket. four runs and a wicket from this over from Bravo 

10:53 PM

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | KKR 122-3 | Over 17- Billings power

 

That's the Sam Billings that people. Comes down the crease and lifts this ball, which was pitched shorter by Jadeja after seeing him come out, for a great six over deep mid-wicket. Now can he finish it early? 10 runs from this over 

10:49 PM

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | KKR 112-3 | Over 16- 19 more to win

 

That is a great save from Adam Milehn as it was cracked off the bat of Sam Billings and was running towards the Point boundary for four runs before Milne went for a big-time and managed to save two runs 

 

Four!! Now comes the four. It was slow and outside leg and Billings hit it for a four down to the fine leg and now the target is reduced to only 19 off 24 balls 

10:44 PM

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | KKR 104-3 | Over 15- Easy going for KKR

 

No freebies here from Jadeja as he bowls it short and on the legs, cramping the two batters for room as the Knight Riders manage to get six from the over and bring the equation down to 28 off 30 balls 

10:42 PM

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | KKR 98-3 | Over 14- 50 from Mahi is more than good enough for CSK fans!

10:40 PM

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | KKR 98-3 | Over 14-Horrible review

 

That is one of the most horrible reviews one would see in the IPl as the ball was hitting the bat or gloves and Chennai captain Jadeja still went for the review even as MS Dhoni and bowler Santner didn't look even one bit sure about taking the review. Now with 36 balls left, KKR need 34 with seven wickets in hand. Strategic Time out has been taken 

10:35 PM

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | KKR 93-3 | Over 13- It's gripping

 

It's gripping here at Wankhede and Jadeja is making sure that he keeps the dot balls building as he has managed to get an edge of Iyer that fell just short of Bravo at flying slip

10:31 PM

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | KKR 90-3 | Over 12- Santner takes Rahane

 

Two left-arm spinners in captain Jadeja and Micthell Santner operate from both ends against two right-handers in Ajinkya Rahane and Shreyas Iyer and though both batters have been lucky so far, but not anymore as Rahane tries to pull this and hits straight to short mid-on where Jadeja takes a diving catch. KKR lose three now. 

Seven off the over and a wicket and now all KKR need is 41 off 8 overs to win the first game here

10:26 PM

Live | CSK vs KKR | IPL 2022 | KKR 76-2 | Over 10- Bravo strikes again

 

And there you go, the number one celebration is back and Bravo continues his wicket-taking spree as KKR lose two now. It was short and slow and Rana wanted to pull it and played straight to short fine leg where Rayudu caught it easily
